Abdominal muscle strain

[Dlon]

Hi,
I strained my abdominal muscles at crossfit 5 days ago. I saw my Dr. And was told to ice and take Mobic. My entire abdomen is still swollen. How long will this swelling last? I am asking because I am supposed to be going on a cruise in 4 days.The pain is much better now.
Thank you,
Donna

Everyone's injury and illness is different.  I cannot say how long it will last; I only wish it will be gone in time for your cruise.  It sounds like it is improving, so this is a good sign.  You may still have a little discomfort on the cruise, but try to have a good time.

You may want to avoid lifting the suitcase(s) or anything heavy to avoid re-injuring it.

Have fun on your cruise!
